The Bronze Palace was magnificent yet simple. It was filled with a faint glow. No one knew when it was built despite the many ancient patterns that were carved into the walls. At that moment, many Life Forces were gathered from all directions. One by one, they evoLued into Life Runes and fell into the pool. Meanwhile, the Immortal Mist was dense and bright, just like the Milky Way. 

 

With her hair stuck onto her face, Chan Hongyi was totally immersed in the pool. She wore a Zen Robe that suppressed her terrifying hostility. Her eyes that were like obsidian kept a tight watch in the direction of the palace doors. After she caught a glimpse of Gu Changge remaining there, she seemed to be relieved and smiled happily. It was as if seeing him brought her the most joy in the world. 

 

“Master… Hongyi will work hard on cultivating. Please… don’t abandon me again… ” She murmured. However, everything but her eyes was immersed in the pool. Thus, as she spoke, bubbles gurgled *Gulu Gulu*.

*Boom!* One by one, Life Forces transformed into a faint glow and permeated this space. Like moths to a fire, they moved towards Chan Hongyi’s body. All those terrifying injuries on her body were slowly healed. Especially in her dazed eyes, there was a sense of rejuvenation. It was as if the injuries on her soul were slowly recovered, as well as her physical injuries. 

 

Gu Changge stood outside the doors of the Bronze Palace. His robes moved with the wind and he gently closed his eyes to feel the direction of the Principles of this place. When he took Chan Hongyi away from the Divine City, he purposely avoided everyone just to bring her to this Sanctuary for Resurrection that he had long prepared for her. Here, there were many Sources scattered all around.

 

They were from the countless battles that took place in the Boundary Marker Sea. Dead littered around like the sand from in the Ganges River and their Life Forces, which gradually gathered here over the years, were countless. After he killed the War Immortal, Li Xiu, he had left many Prohibition Arrays here. 

 

On one hand, he was afraid that someone would notice this place and destroy this Sanctuary for Resurrection. On the other hand, he wanted this place to be under his control through his arrays. If Chan Hongyi’s hostility was to resurface, he could use these arrays to seal her in his Inner World. However, these were just prevention measures. There was no need for it unless it was his last resort. 

 

Just as Gu Changge was deep in his thoughts, there was a tremble outside the Bronze Palace. Ah Da’s figure emerged with a small jet-black flask that bobbed within his palm and had a strong devouring force. 

 

“Master, it’s full.” He respectfully offered up the flask. Gu Changge glanced over casually and nodded. 

 

This was the Grand Flask where Grand Runes gathered. Its capacity was as great as the ocean. However, right now, it was already filled to the brim with an endless amount of Life Force. The transparent sea of blood that floated to its very top even produced crimson mist. 

 

“Not enough. But, the Life Force here has already been sucked dry. Go to the frontier where the two worlds meet. There are many people there. Go kill them and fill up another flask. ” Gu Changge shook his head gently. Within his palm, black runes appeared and condensed into a black Grand Flask, which he then passed to Ah Da. 

 

“Master, should I also kill those that are from the Upper Realm?” Within Ah Da’s glowing eyes, a hint of doubt appeared as he asked respectfully. 

 

“Just kill them, there’s nothing wrong about it.” Gu Changge nodded gently, his expression stoic. 

 

“Yes.” Space blurred and a crack appeared. At the speed of light, Ah Da’s figure stepped into the crack and disappeared. Afterwhich, Gu Changge held the Grand Flask and walked into the Bronze Palace. Wisps of red light rushed towards Chan Hongyi’s body. The Life Forces that had started to thin in all directions, thickened again, like a sea of blood that floated in the air. 

 

Her face spelled confusion as she asked in a gentle voice, “Mas..Master…”

 

“Yes?” Gu Changge glanced at her without a halt in his actions. Black Grand Runes fell into the pool. At the same time, he also threw in some glowing Heavenly Herbs. There were red agate-like fruits and transparent sacred branches that gave off a siLuer glow. 

 

“You… you want to cook me… like before?” Befuddled, Chan Hongyi watched the pool start to boil due to the horrifying effect caused by the Heavenly Herbs. 

 

The temperature of the pool continuously rose to the point where it even bubbled with a *Gulu Gulu* sound. 

 

Due to the steam, her small face became a little hot with a natural blush. However, this steam was a result of the condensation of Life Forces and extraordinary Heavenly Herbs. Each wisp contained an astonishing amount of vitality. Even the legendary Human Body Herbal Pill was nothing compared to this. 

 

“Cook?” Gu Changge flashed through his sea of memories and gently shook his head, “How many times have I told you? That’s called Building The Foundation And Toughening The Body.” 

 

“Oh…I remember, this is called Building The Foundation And Toughening The Body. Then…Master…once I am fully cooked, are you going to eat me?” Chan Hongyi was still a little confused. She felt like a stranger towards this new phrase. Instead, she remembered something else that was very important. With doe eyes, she looked towards Gu Changge with caution, hope and excitement. 

 

“Eat you?” Gu Changge raised his brows and moved closer to her. Her confusion had really gotten a little serious. Chan Hongyi nodded her head. Her confused expression revealed a rare seriousness, as if this matter was really important to her. 

 

“Mm…I’ve already grown up. Master, once you eat me, I…I can marry you.” She earnestly explained. It didn’t cross Gu Changge’s mind that the ‘eating’ that she mentioned actually meant this. Indeed, he remembered Chan Hongyi to be a little foolish, but definitely not to this extent.

 

“Where did you hear this from?” Gu Changge asked in a gentle tone. 

 

“From…from the auntie at the foot of the mountain, when I asked when I could marry Master. Back then…she…she said unless Master ate me.” Chan Hongyi’s voice grew softer and her expression was blank, as if she needed a lot of effort to recall. 

 

After she said all that, she couldn’t help but tug Gu Changge’s sleeve, “Mas…Master, can you please don’t kill auntie. Aun..Auntie is a good person, she even taught me how to cook. I…I want to cook for Master…” In her memory, Gu Changge rarely allowed her to interact with strangers. Many strangers who tried ways to approach her were killed by him mercilessly. Once, an entire Immortal Family was eliminated because their Young Master tried to approach her. 

 

“I won’t kill anyone this time.” Gu Changge rubbed her head with calm eyes, “Focus on healing.” 

 

“Okay…Okay…” Chan Hongyi obediently nodded her head. 

 

Over the next few days, the Bronze Palace was filled with a faint red mist. Gu Changge paid attention to the happenings of the outside and got his subordinates to relay news to him. What interested him most was that many forces and people were speculating if he was dead or alive. Some said he died from a fall, others said he was kidnapped by the Demoness. There were different opinions from all corners. The Demon Slaying Event in the Divine City this time, could be said to have caused a huge sensation in the Upper Realm. The number of cultivators who died was countless, those who managed to escape were also with horrendous injuries that needed a very long time to heal. 

 

Naturally, the worst were the monks from Buddhist Mountain, who all died tragically, without a single survivor. This caused many people to guess Gu Changge’s whereabouts. Regardless of young or old, all eyes were on him and everyone wanted to know if he was still alive. 

 

To Gu Changge, this didn’t really matter to him. This was because he didn’t need to feign death to trick his enemies. As of today’s Upper Realm, there was no enemy that could push him to such an extent. His main concern was Chan Hongyi. She was a ticking time bomb. She was extremely difficult to control. Her hostility was unstable, it could manifest into how it was in the Divine City at any time. As her injuries healed, her abilities would just become more terrifying. 

 

Gu Changge checked her injuries before, her current state was less than one percent of her at her peak. Now, he could only stabilise her Divine Soul before he planned for anything else. The Upper Realm was already in a different epoch, it lacked Immortal materials and it was extremely difficult for Chan Hongyi to recover completely. Her current dazed state was easy to deal with, once she entered her maniacal state, it would be a hundred times more difficult to control her. During this period, Chan Hongyi’s injuries gradually healed, this also meant that once she entered her maniacal state, her abilities would just be more terrifying. However, Gu Changge also made backup plans, just in case he couldn’t control her when that time came. 

 

A few days later, the radius of a hundred thousands of kilometres around the Sanctuary for Resurrection was sucked dry of all Life Force. The faint red glow that once floated above the Boundary Marker Sea had subsided, it would take at least tens of millions of years for it to reappear. 

 

Gu Changge left the Bronze Palace with Chan Hongyi, but the outside world still couldn’t know about her whereabouts. That was why, after careful deliberation, Gu Changge left her in his Inner World. Currently, he had no plans to return to the Gu Family, he still had some things to deal with in the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains. 

 

According to Ah Da’s reports, the Fortuitous One, Chu Hao, had appeared in the Boundary Marker Sea attempting to break into the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains. Gu Changge estimates that after he kills Chu Hao, he should be able to breakthrough to the Quasi-Nirvana Realm. 

 

However, as time passed, the All-Repelling Force at the north of the Boundary Marker weakened and it had attracted many people there. 

 

A large black cloud swept across the sky, causing it to shake. It was a vast majestic warship with many cultivators. They were like ants on a miniature boat. Rays of golden light surrounded their bodies, creating a divine appearance. However, it was difficult for the more powerful experts to pass through the All-Repelling Force. Though it was possible, they would have to pay a huge price. However, to the younger generation, this was a great opportunity for a trial. Almost all Immortal Forces, which included the Immortal Gu Family, already had members of their younger generation here to fight against the younger generation of the other world. 

 

The previous time, Gu Changge appeared as a Dharma Body made from the Power of Faith. To cross the Boundary Marker Sea was very difficult for others, but to Gu Changge, who is proficient in the Power of Space, it was like walking on flat ground. Although the journey was filled with dangers, it was difficult for any of them to injure him. 

 

Gu Changge’s robes fluttered in the wind, his expression was calm as he strode on the waves of the Boundary Marker Sea as if there was an invisible golden path that stretched beneath his feet, which suppressed the strong waves. He was quick and he moved tens of thousands of kilometres with each step. 

 

Soon, he noticed a Three-Headed Black Flood Dragon in a large wave ahead. It was surrounded by black light and was extremely hideous and frightening. It seemed to be as large as a island. It lived in the Boundary Marker Sea and wasn’t afraid of the sea’s strong waves. Its body was densely covered in black scales that were as hardy as Immortal Gold. This Three-Headed Black Flood Dragon noticed Gu Changge’s expression and bared its teeth to show a ferocious look before leaping at him. 

 

However, at the very next moment, when the terrifying and strong force of the sea swept towards it, it trembled out of fear. Its soul almost flew away from fright and it jumped down into the depths of the Boundary Marker Sea. 

 

“How nice. Since I’m in the Sacred Emperor Realm now, it just so happens that I lack a mount.” Gu Changge nodded his head gently and walked towards it calmly. 

 

,..

 

At that moment, the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains, the banks of the Boundary Marker Sea, was just a barren yellow dessert. Endless yellow sand rolled and submerged the space between heaven and earth as several bones would occasionally be exposed. No one knew how many cultivators of the Ten Domains and the Eight Directions died here, after all, they died as they resisted the invasion of the Upper Realm. 

 

Despite being buried by the wind and sand for many years, the bones glistened with a white glow. Areas of barren hills and mountains were scattered all over the place, some peaks were incomparably strange, with brilliant rays of light and shrouded in divine splendour. Some desolate forests laid among them and were shrouded in thick chaotic fog. From time to time, a beast that was as big as a mountain could be seen crossing the sky and stopping here. 

 

Some areas were fortresses built by the cultivators of the Ten Domains and Eight Direction a long time ago. They were as big as stars. But, they were already damaged. It was obvious that most were damaged by objects that fell from the sky, creating multiple large craters on the ground. From a bird’s eye, the state of this place was devastating, with traces of previous battles all over the place. This was a dangerous site with magnificent mountains and yellow sand. However, there was a very unusual scene. Hidden in the depths, was a group of people trekking. 

 

They passed through ancient trees that seemed to have dried up and lost all vitality, but still stayed rooted and grew. Many ferocious black birds could be seen resting on them. Their eyes were like cold knives and their chirps penetrated the void. 

 

This group of trekkers were all very careful. They weren’t considered small in number, about twenty to thirty people, with both humans and non-humans. There were many young people, but there were also many old people. There was a precious glow on their bodies, hinting that their might was of a frightening level. 

 

“It is said that the Spirit Gourd Master of our world once fought against an Absolute Being from that world called Tai Shang. It was difficult to determine a winner and in the end, they created a space to hide in. They both died of overexhaustion, but their inheritance and many relics, including their artifacts, were all left in that space. However, that space is also very strange, it only appears when there are terrifying fluctuations of battle nearby. Otherwise, we would never be able to find the entrance on an ordinary day.” 

 

Within this group, a young girl spoke. She was tall and graceful, with long, dark green, silky hair, even her eyes were of a dark green. She had exquisite facial features and was undoubtedly a rare beauty. Her entire body was covered in a fresh plant-like scent, which made others feel peaceful. Many young men looked at her with admiration. 

 

Her name was Lu Luo and she was of an ancient race in the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains. Within her body, flowed the blood of the ancient ‘God of Life’. She was of one with nature, all kinds of Nature spells could be cast at her fingertips without difficulty. At the same time, she was also a famous goddess of the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains. Among the younger generation, she had many suitors. 

 

“If it weren’t for aftershocks from the battle between the two worlds reaching here, I’m afraid this space would’ve never appeared. Seems like we are going to benefit from the sidelines.” The rest of the young men and women nodded their heads as they heard Lu Luo’s words. Their eyes flickered and their aura was completely different from those from the Upper Realm. 

 

In the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains, their statuses were high. The powers of their families were ancient and the secrets they were privy to were many. That was why they decided to come here in search of this mysterious space after a discussion. 

 

“We must not be careless. Since we know about this place, then those on the other side may not know about it.” At that moment, a man in black who had slightly younger features opened his mouth. His hair was really long, but his facial features weren’t the best. His figure wasn’t that tall and he was even a little lanky. However, he had an aura that was difficult to ignore. His eyes were radiant and his palms were covered in faint dragon scales. His knuckles were large and some were covered in calluses, it was obvious that he often practised various spells and skills. He was calm and composed in how he presents himself.

 

“Since Brother Lin said so, I shall be careful.” The expressions of the rest of the young men and women all turned serious as they listened to his words. They were obviously in awe of the man in front of them. Even a goddess like Lu Luo, couldn’t help but admire him. 

 

This man was Lin Wu, he was from the ancient Blood Dragon Clan and was a legendary genius in the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains. His glamour was dazzling and he was even regarded as a peerless character of the younger generation. His birth could only be regarded as humble as he was born to a concubine of the Lin Clan. If it weren’t for the drunken moment of folly by the head of the Lin Clan, Lin Wu probably wouldn’t exist. 

 

Before the age of thirteen, Lin Wu wasn’t special in any way. In fact, he lagged far behind those who were of the same age and was not valued by his family at all. However, in the year he turned thirteen, when he awakened his Dragon Bloodline, his abilities were so powerful that it shocked everyone. 

 

He could be called a sword that was refined over more than ten years due to the dazzling brilliance he gave off. He was talented such that there was nothing in this world that he couldn’t learn. No matter how difficult the skill, he could master it in the shortest amount of time possible. In summary, there were two types of geniuses in aristocratic families, one type was Lin Wu and the other type was everyone else. After he lagged behind his peers for more than ten years, it was simply a miracle that Lin Wu caught up from behind and became a dazzling invincible existence. However, the terrors of Lin Wu laid in how gifted he was. 

 

In today’s Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains, it seemed as if the golden age was about to erupt with all kinds of horrors and evildoers. Dazzling stars in chaos, only Lin Wu could be regarded as one of them. “I just don’t know the probability of us winning this battle. I heard a problem occurred on the other side, otherwise, there wouldn’t have been so many cultivators heading in this direction…” 

 

As if she thought of something, Goddess Lu Luo sighed. Her expression was bitter and helpless, with a hint of deep melancholy and fear. At the mention of the great battle, almost everyone’s eyes flashed hatred and anger. It wasn’t the first time such a thing happened to the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains. There have been many of such occurrences since the ancient times. The damaged war fortresses on the banks of the Boundary Marker Sea were the result of the endless years of war. 

 

Soon, everyone cautiously hurried forward again to avoid the many ferocious beasts of here. 

 

Goddess Lu Luo saw how Lin Wu was deep in thought and couldn’t help but ask, “Lin Wu, are you thinking about what happened in the past?” Lin Wu nodded silently. 

 

“My condolences. At his last breath, Brother Qingyang didn’t give in. He died as a brave soldier and has definitely lived up to the name of the Blood Dragon War God.” Lu Luo sighed. She knew Lin Wu had a close relationship with his brother, Qingyang. However, some time ago, Lin Qingyang fought against a youth on that battlefield. When he was about to end his opponent’s life, he was smacked to death by a horrifying existence from behind. Together with an Ancestor of the Lin Clan, they died tragically on the spot. Both turned into bloodmist and died without a trace. This matter angered Lin Wu for a really long time as hatred burnt his eyes red.
